A study shows living in an apartment helps create a healthy work-life balance

Atlanta, GA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/24/2014 -- Today, many people are too busy making a living that they forget to make a life as well. Living in a big city causes stress most of the time, and 89% of Americans said work-life balance is a problem. About 53% of these people confessed that it affects their family life. A workaholic culture does not only yield poor health and family problems, but it can also make people less effective at work.

A study made by StrategyOne in 2010 suggested that living in an apartment promotes a healthy work-life balance. The research proved that living in a supportive apartment community helps alleviate stress. Aside from building possible friendships among neighbors, living in an apartment gives access to amenities which promote well-being. Such features offered in apartment communities are fitness centers, business centers, playgrounds and picnic areas, swimming pools, recreational activities, 24/7 security, 24/7 emergency maintenance, and convenience services – clothes care center, car wash, trash service.

Atlanta is a large metro area with lots of suburbs and traffic. It is known for long commutes, thus this should be a big factor in looking for apartments in the city. It is important to create a list of priorities and considerations necessary in order to choose a perfectly reasonable apartment.
